Plastic circularity through an efficient detection, collection and valorization into Hydrogen and value-added products

PLAST4H2 aims to establish an excellent transnational network to foster the fight against pollution caused by the indiscriminate littering of plastics in the Atlantic area, followed by the valorization of these into high-value-added products like hydrogen.

Thus, circularity and sustainability principles are the core of the proposal, appealing and linking to the thematic priority number 2 of the Interreg Atlantic Area 2021-2027 programme blue and green environment (Greener Europe).
